IDEA
I have been flirting with this idea for some time now. Most guns in todays society are overpowered and have no place in minecraft because it would upset the balance of the game. But having a bow and arrows for minecrafts ONLY ranged weapon can become repetitive. What if minecraft had a single shot musket that was difficult to craft and had a long reload time. The power of the weapon wouldnt be too much greater than the bow but would certainly have a much greater range.
FIRING/RELOADING
First off the musket would have to fire musket balls this means a new item (musketballs) will have to be added to the game. In order to fire a single shot you must have a musketball, a gunpowder, and a flint. All three of these items will be used up with each shot. Alternatively you could use a firecharge instead of gunpowder and flint. The reloading time would have to be long so that the gun doesnt upset the power balance of the game (mabey 5-10 seconds). A long reload time would also make this a balanced weapon in PvP when compared to the fast firing, less powerful bow.
CRAFTING
I havent given much thought to this aspect of muskets yet. They would certainly have to require high level materials to craft so new players in the world dont have easy access. I would reccomend materials like emerald, wood, iron, gold, and mabey diamond. Also muskets might be traded to/from villgers for a high price. Any suggestions on crafting materials and crafting process would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for any suggestions and constructive criticisim.
Like I said before the bow and arrows can become repetitive seeing how it is the ONLY ranged weapon. I believe players diserve more diversity in their weapons. What ranged weapons would you reccommend since muskets have "no support"? Throwning knives, javalins, sling shots? Anything?

I will support this as a mod, though.
